Description: Up to the current day, matters of sexual morality--including contraception, abortion, premarital sex, and gay marriage--have polarized the Catholic Church. In the wake of the turmoil of the 1960s, when liberal theologians challenged the Church's traditional views on the subject, a schism has opened. Much of the world, and many Catholics themselves, believe that the views of each camp are clear and well defined. As the author reveals in this trenchant and illuminating defense of the teachings of his Church, this is far from the case.
